Department scholarships

Lots of departments offer scholarships, some of them sponsored by industry. Contact the department running the courses you’re interested in to find out if they are offering anything for students starting in your year.

Sports scholarships

Do you compete at an elite level in your sport? Then you can apply. Our Elite Sports Performance Scheme (ESPS)gives athletes different levels of support, from free gym membership, to an annual £1,000 award. Each year, one first-year application is also selected to receive a year’s free accommodation, in lieu of a monetary award.
